History

Palos Verdes Bowl was built in 1958, opening as one of the first bowling alleys in the South Bay area, and the first in Torrance. The building would remain mostly unchanged throughout its 62-year run, except for a repaint of the familiar Googie style sign that stood over Crenshaw Boulevard in 2016.
Due to financial difficulties, Palos Verdes Bowl, and a sale of the land for a retail center in 2019.
